Marcus Rashford and Antony will return to Man Utd as Ruben Amorim 'really happy' to see duo shine at Aston Villa and Real Betis

<p>Amorim is delighted for the success of Rashford and Antony since leaving United on loan moves to Aston Villa and Real Betis, insisting their respective upturns in form represent good news for the club. He added that they each must return to Old Trafford before any decision about their long-term futures can be made.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The change of scenery gained with the move away from his boyhood club has done wonders for Rashford, who has four goals and six assists in 17 appearances for Villa. Similarly, Antony has five goals and four assists in 18 games for Betis. </p><p>Villa have the option to sign Rashford permanently for £40 million ($53m), though Barcelona have also been linked with a move for his services. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/marcus-rashford-urged-leave-man-utd-newcastle-ian-wright-tells-magpies-partner-england-star-alexander-isak/blted964107753c32ec" target="_self">Ian Wright suggested this week</a> that Newcastle United should make a move for Rashford. Betis reportedly had an offer to take Antony on a season-long loan deal for next campaign <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-om/lists/antony-stay-real-betis-new-bid-keep-man-utd-outcast-having-offer-turned-down/bltecd9c824ea0a13cc#cs9f90cd45bd20fc3e" target="_self">rejected by United</a>, who are said to want recoup £30m ($40m) for the winger in a permanent transfer.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Amorim said: "All the players on loan will return and then the club will decide what to do at the end of the season. When you put a player on loan the best thing is for them to perform. All these [loan] players have talent and they have to put that on the team.</p><p>"The talent of Rashford, the talent of Antony, they all have talent. We are really happy because if you put players on loan you want them to perform. That is good for us."</p>

WHAT AMORIM SAID

<p>For now, Rashford and Antony will each be targeting silverware from their initial loan spells. Villa play in an FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace on Saturday, while Betis are through to the last four of the Conference League. Both remain in the hunt for Champions League qualification.</p>
